Darwin has decided he likes the taste of coffee with milk—so it’s a constant battle to keep him out of Mark’s cup (he is pictured here, turning his nose up at my basic black coffee.)

Every once in a while, someone attacks me by saying stuff that is just… true? ‘ShE bEliEvEs in TraNs RigHts’ —like, um. Yes I do. What’s you follow up insult? I also believe in civil rights, workers rights, disabled rights, and that a woman’s body isn’t government business.

I don’t have words for how unfair—for what a sad little world it will seem without her bright light in it. But I am lucky as all hell to know her. And to love her. ❤️ 💔

Saw an ask making the rounds: “would you like to re-live high school?”
As in would I like to cover my underwear in stinging red ants and dance a music-less Polka in a Florida-swamp-mosquito-hatchery with live alligators strapped to my feet? Because that’s the question I heard.

Darwin has quite short fur—and likes to snuggle in his sweater. But he outgrew it. So I made this from an old scarf.

I’m at the first funeral today. I saw Paula only a month ago. Sudden, and sad.

Okay, look. If this were a TV plot you’d be fired. Renewing McCarthyism under another dude named McCarthy? No one would believe that s****.

Kevin McCarthy, after Republicans vote to boot Ilhan Omar from Foreign Affairs Committee:
"This is a fundamentally different Congress. I have had Democrats telling me we are running it much better."

Me as a teen: sprawled on furniture like limp rag
My mom: you will ruin that chair; sit up straight!
Me: but comfy!
My Mom: When you grow up you can ruin your own furniture that way.

I agreed to do a keynote. The person inviting me just told me that speaking to me is a ‘dream come true.’ Calling my #ActuallyAutistic friends: how do I not panic about this unexpected level of positive affirmation?

Today, two people I knew well died—one of them suddenly (after a by pass surgery we thought had gone well). Meanwhile, my brother lost a friend and it’s possibly a homicide. It’s been a rough day. And I suppose I just want to say—be kind. Be kind, be kind. Life is short.

Like many of you, I have watched the new series, #wednesdaynetflix In this recent season, there’s quite a lot of talk about #poisons in general, and cyanide in particular. How does it stack up to real life cyanide poisoning?

This is so important. Thank you, Cher!
👊👊Also, former Armenian Ambassador to the UN, Zohrab Mnatsakanyan, making an essential point that the UN MUST stand up for its "founding principles" in #Artsakh to stop atrocities, or what's its point?? newsweek.com/what-good-un-i #Yerevan

The sadness of realizing you’ll never be People Magazine’s #sexiestmanalive (I am joking, I love sexy poses as much as anyone, but that is a weird-ass gender contest they do over there)
